According to a happiness survey conducted recently by "Woman's Day" & AOL, the following were the results from a variety of questions asked of 12,000 women:
78% said that happiness was a choice.
56% said they hop out of bed in a good mood.
65% said that money cannot buy happiness.
22% said that having great sex for the rest of their lives would make them happiest while
56% said that winning the lottery would do it.
18% said that family was the key to happiness, while 3% said that time alone to themselves was.
67% said that they were happy enough when asked if they were happy, 22% said not very, and 11% said they were blissfully happy.
39% said optimistically, that their happiest days are ahead of them while 27% said that those days were behind them.
Now I will answer this survey (ooh, dare I?).
I do believe that happiness is a choice (some just don't know it).
I don't hop out of bed in a good mood (maybe I could fix that if I could just get enough sleep).
Money cannot buy happiness (but it sure adds to it).
Winning the lottery would make me happy just as great sex would (sorry, but it really is a
toss-up).
Close family ties is very important and makes you feel wonderful, but time alone is another is
just as important (another toss up and time alone is something I usually crave).
I am happy enough and believe that my happiest days are ahead of me.

Family Vacation Ideas
For those who love to travel, I found some interesting and possibly useful sites. These sites offer affordable family vacation ideas. If you start to plan now, you might be all set to go in the spring or summer.
If you would like to plan a farm stay where you will be in the action of working on a farm with animals and crops, try agrispot.com. You can milk cows, pick eggs, feed the animals, etc. Kids usually love these activities These vacations are not very expensive; an average of $600 for a 5 day stay for a family of 3.
nps.gov is the site for you, if you are planning a trip to a national park. There are over 400 in the US.
To get annual passes for adults and children over 16 (under 16 is free) where you get guided tours and more try aramarkparksanddestinations.com.
For those who want to volunteer, there are many activities and organizations which offer trips. Americanhiking.org is a nonprofit group which maintains public hiking trails. If you would like to care for orphaned animals, try greepeople.org/animalsancturay.html for a list of sanctuaries. Charityguide.org offers other volunteer vacation thoughts.
To find dates where the cheapest prices are offered by airlines, try farecast.com. Yapta.com checks airline prices and sends an email alert when prices decrease.
Breezenet.com offers rental car discounts if you need to rent one.
